It is always difficult to get things past the wily Asian.
Well done. I have carefully not told her that the new iPods are out and are 4." Thank goodness she is still holding on to the HTC (something like that) phone her son left her while he is away working on his "failure to communicate." Last edited by SeaKing; 09-24-2012 at 11:33 AM. |

The technology is available today. The hardware isn't quite there yet and Windows 8 isn't either for an OS, but I think we are closer than a lot of people realize. Phones today can provide all the computing power 90% of consumers need. I'd expect to be able to buy a nice modular setup within 5 years. I need a real PC for work, but for personal use about all I use my laptop for anymore is some internet use, basic multimedia management, and banking. All of which my year-old phone could easily handle given the right interface. Last edited by pl001; 09-24-2012 at 05:31 PM. |

That reminds me that in the new Iron Sky movie, yet to be released, the mad Nazi scientist on the moon realizes that the phone the captured Astronaut is carrying has the computing power to control the new Nazi giant Dreadnaught. Then the battery runs out, and they have to send a mission to Earth to find a charger. It is going to be a great movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
